Asus2                      Asus2
Down, to the river down
                   G         G
They carried poor Rhodesia
Asus2                          Asus2
Drowned, never to be crowned
                       G         G
Our queen lays slain, Rhodesia
         Asus2                             Asus2
Wouldn't leave your body to the hounds
                                       G          G
Couldn't bury you in hallowed ground, Rhodesia
  Asus2                              Asus2
Slowly they run these black tears
                                  G           G
Slowly they run into the river Aeeth
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia
Asus2                     Asus2
Down, to the river down
                   G          G
They carried poor Rhodesia
Asus2                          Asus2
Drowned, never to be crowned
                                                G
They carried her splendour down to the river Aeeth
                         G
Aeeth is a grave's name

[Chorus]
     Asus2
So today we call, for the miracle
 Asus2               G          G
Arise young queen, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we row
Asus2        G          G
On we row, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G         G
On we row, Rhodesia

[Verse]
   Asus2                                Asus2
No flowers grow on Rhodesia's grave
                                G
No flowers grow on the river Aeeth
                          G
Aeeth is a grave's name

Aeeth is that pale tomb of shame

Asus2
      Down flew the golden crown
Asus2
      And she lays slain on the frozen ground
G              G
   Rhodesia
       Asus2
Now we climb into that willow tree
Asus2
    And we all weep for thee
       G         G
Poor Rhodesia

[Chorus]
      Asus2
So today we call, for the miracle
  Asus2               G         G
Arise young queen, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia

    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we grow, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia

    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia
    Asus2
And on we go
Asus2        G        G
On we row, Rhodesia
